The U.S. Flag is one step closer to being illegal in California, as a California judge sides with school officials who sent students home for displaying U.S. flags on Cinco de Mayo . Chief U.S. District Judge James Ware of San Francisco dismissed a case against Live Oaks High School administrators, saying the Morgan Hill, California school did not violate the students’ 1st and 14th Amendment rights when officials sent them home for their American patriotism. Outrage and backlash are resulting from the federal judge’s ruling. When four students wore U.S. Flag T-shirts to school on Cinco de Mayo, they were met with profanities and threats of violence on “a holiday for Mexico, not the United States.” One such student was approached by a Mexican student who shoved a Mexican flag at him, yelling in Spanish.
